When cut a polished diamond of one carat (4 grains) is worth about 640, but the value increases rapidly with the size. Up to to carats, the value is roughly' assessed by squaring the weight in carats and multiply. ing by £40, so that a sfteen carat diamond should be worth, about £9,000, Above: 70 carate the value ingrosses at a much more rapid```rate. The Koh-I-Nor (10 carats) is valued at £309,000.
